And the angel said to her in reply, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore, the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)
(Annunciation of the Lord – 25th March)
Parent Teacher Meetings
Thank you to all the parents from Pre-Primary to Year 6 for making the time on Tuesday to meet with your child’s classroom teacher. I hope this opportunity provided you with a greater insight into your child’s academic, social, and emotional progress so far this year. As this is part of the school’s formal reporting process, teachers will be in contact with those parents who either did not attend or book a meeting.

Thank you to everyone who embraced Harmony Day on Tuesday by coming to school dressed in your national attire or in orange. Thank you also to Miss Gumina, Miss Aquino and the Year 3 Blue class for leading the morning assembly. Here are some photos celebrating the day.

Football Clinics for Year 1 and Pre-Primary

In the first clinic, students worked on enhancing their locomotor skills, and in the second week students were taught how to handball a footy. Next week, students will be learning how to do a punt kick of the footy prior to the Year 1 students attending the Fremantle Dockers gala day on Wednesday.
